thanks KathrynLex,
I dont have panic attacks per say cause i have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and its more just little bits all the time and I have negative anxious patterns of thinking. does that make sense? haha. ive gotten so used to have anxiety that its how i approach everything. occasionally i get a lil panic attack. I dont think I want to be on more than two meds. so i hope i wont have to be on xanax or klonopin. well I guess I am tired, especially in the beginning month but I think i got used to sleeping so much that now my body wants it and it might not be still the Lexapro. is 50 the lowest dose for Wellbutrin? do you know how long till i will see results from wellbutrin? my doc didnt really say that. Im going back in 3 weeks though. keep me posted how this is working for you.Karalyn
Hi Karalyn,

> Tomorrow I'm adding 50 mgs of Wellbutrin to my 15 mg Lexapro dose. It's a small dose to start out with, but I have a very low tolerance to meds.

> Like you I take my Lexapro at night and will be taking the Wellbutrin in the mornings. You mentioned that you aren't tired all day...I wish I could say the same thing. I've been groggy since starting Lex.

> I don't think 150 mgs is "too much." My psychiatrist told me that I could go as high as 300 mgs - it just depends on what I'm comfortable with. I'd like to stay at a low dose if possible.

> Like you, I'm worried about the Wellbutrin increasing my anxiety. But for that I have Klonopin and Xanax. I've found both to be very helpful during panic attacks and moments of high anxiety.

> I'm adding the Wellbutrin to help counteract the groggy feeling I get with Lexapro. I hope we both get good results.
